Misfortune — Nancy Geary
IN A WORLD OF WEALTH AND LIES, KEEPING UP APPEARANCES CAN BE A KILLER.
Star prosecutor Frances Pratt returns to the Hamptons to a privileged community as darkly secretive as ever -- and to murder within her own family. Beneath gilded surfaces and behind crumbling pretenses, she begins a dangerous hunt for answers and uncovers demons with many deceitful faces -- the prejudice that embitters a respected black surgeon, the betrayal that freezes a faithful partner out of the Pratts investment firm, the snobbery that darkens the vision of a highborn idealist, the cruel fact about one dissolute socialite's past. And in a shocking endgame she will have to confront a shattering truth about her blue-blooded clan...and herself.
